Guest Reviews

• Annette (10/5): - Clean accommodation and friendly, helpful staff.
• Annette (10/5): Clean, beautiful rooms and bathrooms. Lovely property with a pool and a river flowing close by. - Rented 2 rooms for me and my family. Clean, beautiful rooms and bathrooms. Friendly and helpful host and staff. It's truly an enjoyable stay. Staying for a few more days, and am very happy about it.
• Nohashe (7/5): We had a good stay - The place is clean, friendly staff and owner The breakfast there were no options to choose on. No iron and ironing board provided on the rooms
• Flekkies (5/5): -
• Gordon (7/5): -
• Memory (3/5): -
• Lindsey (7/5): - Breakfast was good. Upgrade was appreciated even at the extra cost. We were initially put in dreaded room no. 7, right next to the laundry, which wasn't great as I was working. Bed and room is too small for a biggish couple. so definetely check which room you're allocated first.
• Lindile (10/5): - Its really nice Tha tea boiler was not working
• Mokgope (10/5): Exceptional -
• Marilyn (8/5): Very pleasant - Position was good for our needs. Well looked after by Joyce and Memory. Good breakfast. It rained for a good deal of the time we were there and the tiles became a bit slippery so felt safer walking through the wet grass. Unfortunately there wasn’t hot water for showers on one morning of our stay. Was rectified but meant a bit of a wait.
• Stef (5/5): Not really to my liking - Good location Clean room Broken Basin Only one towel Papers stuck all over the place Not a good breakfast at all
• Lucia (8/5): Very good - The owner and the staff made sure that we are comfortable and well taken care off. The breakfast was delicious 😋 and the river view was a plus, the sound of water made us sleep more like babies 😊
• Shelly (8/5): Very good -
• Sphe (8/5): Thank you to Joyce & her team for a wonderful stay. We will definitely visit them again. - I appreciate their willingness to take us in at very last minute when our initial accommodation let us down. The room was quickly prepared for us & everything was neat & tidy. Their breakfast was also very good, prepared well & they catered to every need. The sound of the river in the backyard added to a tranquil experience, with wonderful walking trails next to it. WiFi signal in our room was weak.
• Ulrich (8/5): Comfortable - Was so nice … that was my first time to really enjoy my booking
• Sherry-anne (10/5): Exceptional -
• Deon (10/5): Exceptional -
• Wolfgang (4/5): bad experiance with owner and payment - The owner charged me twice, she wanted money on arrival. She said i did not pay on booking.com but i showed here prove of payment but still she said i can reclaim from booking, she don't just storno the payment.. I have to see now how i get my money back. Not a nice way at all. Nothing refund until now... still fight get my money back!
• Hope (10/5): Amazing - The stuff was very friendly and helpful The place was quiet. We could hear the sound of the birds ✨️ The tv had only 2 channels 😔
• Zakira (8/5): Very good - The location was near the hospital I needed to be at.. lovely setting with a river sound very tranquil serene The bed was too small.. the breakfast was very limited for us.. no halaal catering
• Elize (10/5): Excellent - Value for money
• Linda (9/5): Superb -
• Arthur (7/5): Good - The water the next morning was cold in the room I was staying in
• Roberto (8/5): perfect fit - not an ordinary hotel,, but something more "africa" style. Nice quite and in the middle of the nature nothing of particular
• Don (10/5): Exceptional - Clean and quiet Everything ok
• Butiki (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ntombifikile (9/5): Excellent care - The owner was so helpful, she kept our luggage safe because we arrived before check in time. I liked everything about the place, will book there again.
• Griphin (6/5): Enjoyed my stay and would recommend to my friend - The environment is very conducive. Warm welcoming from the owners. River flowing near the residence bring excellent breeze. I find the place to meet all my expectations
• Brendahlee (9/5): MY BEST BIRTHDAY WEEKEND-AWAY - 😃😀Thatchfoord Lodge is Beautifull and Clean, in a Quiet Area. Our Room Was Nice and Big With Everything We Needed.. Comfortable Bed, Shower, Fridge, TV and Tea/Coffee Station. I Spend the Weekend with My Sister at The Lodge For My Birthday, It's The Best👌👌 With Breathtaking Views of Nature Arround. Aunty Joyce, The Owner.. Such a Loving and Warm Lady 🫂 She Went Out of Her Way to Ensure We Were Comfortable and Happy. We Were Hungry on Arrival, She Drove Me to Buy Lunch. She Even Surprised Me With a Champagne 🍾 🥂 Wow! I Felt Very Special😃 THANK YOU MAM, MAY GOD BLESS YOU MORE🙏 Monica and Memory Served Us a Delicious Breakfast😋😋 and the Gardener Steven Cleaned the Pool For Us to Take a Dip 🏊‍♂️ 👙 🏊‍♀️ 👙. We Had a Good Braai 🥩🔥 The Nature Trails Along the River Were Amazing. Thatchfoord Lodge is HOME AWAY FROM HOME Ecspecially When You Need Some Peace and Quiet Moment, i'll Definately Go Back👏 👏 👏 Honestly, Nothing. I Liked Everything.
• Price (10/5): incredible - Everything about the whole stay was amazing.
• Karsten (8/5): Very good -
• Motshweni (10/5): The place was ok .but my husband was despoiled about the size of the room - The place is quite not much to do there inside just to relax Joyce is I perfect hoster and Memory saver a delicious breakfast
• Nqayi (1/5): Bad -
• Mpshe (10/5): great stay - Location good and breakfast good
• Sutherland (9/5): Superb - What a delightful find. A spot of serenity with a river running at the bottom of the property. The owner went out of her way to help me with whatever I needed.
• Thakane (9/5): Superb -
• Khanyisa (2/5): Worst experience ever due to poor communication post check-in, low standard of cleanliness and food - Only physical location - nice area Everything else was a horrible experience. Should you have a low standard in communication, cleanliness and food then by all means book this place otherwise if you have normal to high standards then avoid! 1. Joyce did not answer any of my calls the whole day after I checked in, I needed a plug to charge and told her this at check in and she said she would bring it… 5 calls later over 5 hours and looking for her, she finally answered and gave one - should I have not decided to leave the lodge and go charge elsewhere I would have been stranded. 2. Then I requested an iron in the morning - she didn’t even answer call/ iMessage from my number whole morning and only the lady at breakfast assisted me when I saw her serving at breakfast- I decided to test Joyce and use my work number to call as maybe she had a problem and as expected, she answered it meaning she was deliberately ignoring me, a guest who paid but would answer an unknown landline number- disappointed to the max, the worst experience I ever! 3. The carpet in the room , looks like it hasn’t been deep cleaned in a long time , rather remove it - I’m not asking you guys to renovate but maintain the standard. Please clean your carpet, ensure you do room maintenance, patch up the broken part in the work desk, remove or fix the broken lamp … don’t put a stained towel in the bathroom … you know the small things you overlooked in my stay. 4. The breakfast! Ants at the table I had to be moved and then I was told the ‘special breakfast today’ which btw was the only option … what came out was 2 Vienna’s ( they said they had sausage ) and 1 back bacon, spoon of Beans straight from a can, nothing done and scrambled eggs…. Listen at that point I just had to hurry and go before I breakdown from worst experience- I travel a bit and yoh This place should be 2 stars not 4 … maybe they use to be 4 in 2010 World Cup but the standard is too poor now … please be attentive and improve for future guests but I won’t be one!
• Rochelle (6/5): Ideally located and just a stone throw away from MonteCasino. - Quiet and secluded. Felt safe. 1
• Margaret (5/5): Passable -
• Phakama (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sonnekus (8/5): Very good -
• Prischl (6/5): Pleasant -
• Magaisane (8/5): Very good -
• Siphiwe (8/5): My stay was good. - Amenities around and good views outside including the flowing river. Television, poor visuals and some channels don’t have sound. As per television, it was poor.
• Kamogelo (4/5): Ok . Never doing it again - The pool was dirty and the landlord or caretaker was not friendly at all The landlord/caretaker was not friendly at all.
• Danny (9/5): A hidden gem in the city - Stunning location on the Sandspruit river yet very close to Sandton. Amazing birdlife on the doorstep. Joyce and the team are most welcoming and friendly- would highly recommend for an experience you wont get at a big hotel. Nothing - honestly cant fault them.
• Leah (10/5): Exceptional - This is a place to unwind , the place Is peaceful and we really enjoyed our stay here, the stuff and the owner are super friendly not to mention the breakfast because it's very delicious. Will definitely come back here.
• Phelisa (8/5): Very good - I liked that they were thoughfull of givibg us a more bigger room.,since we were staying longer. Breakfast options it was nice but more options such as plain yogurt would have been appreciated.
• Dian (1/5): Tv did not work and ants in toilet - The location. Most of the rooms was nice except for the one I booked for an employee. The TV didn’t work, there were ants in the toilet. I checked out after the first night as the guest house was full and I couldn’t be transferred to another room. The property refused to refund the remainder of the stay. My review would have been different had the property compromised and accepted that my employee was unhappy with the room and they did not have an alternate room.
• Reggie (8/5): Very good -
• Elize (9/5): Superb -
• Dian (10/5): Exceptional -
• Roselyn (9/5): Beautiful serene environment - The rooms are beautiful. The place is clean. The staff is very efficient and welcoming. I liked everything about the place.
• Steve (5/5): Disappointed - The location was great as it was near to where our children lived in River Club, the breakfasts were good and Joyce very friendly and willing to assist. We didn't spend any time on the property so have no comment with regards to amenities at the lodge. The only reason for the low review was I think primarily die to the way Booking.com marketed the venue. I gained the impression that all rooms were of similar size and facility, but the one I booked was nothing like the impression created on the website. It was meant to be a standard room, but it was only just big enough to fit a standard double bed, there was no space for a pedestal on one side (in fact it was difficult to get out of bed that side). The bathroom door hit the bed when opened. Credit to Joyce she did try to move us out just for one day when a larger room became available.
• Nolundi (8/5): It was a pleasant stay for my family. - It is a beautiful place, well looked after. Love the location and it near a river and walking trail. Breakfast to be on time and to have a variety.
• Mieke (8/5): Really enjoyed our stay - The place is beautiful and clean. The staff are so friendly and Joyce goes out of her way to help with anything you need. The view is gorgeous and breakfast was delicious. The channel options on the television are very limited, but that is a small complaint against a wonderful three-night stay.
• Kelly (8/5): Very good -
• Daniel (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sebenzile (7/5): Good -
• Marilyn (10/5): Quiet, comfortable and well looked after. - Nothing to dislike! Nothing
• Marilyn (10/5): Home from home - So welcoming and happy to help with anything needed. A beautiful location and very peaceful. Thank you Joyce and Memory. Nothing
• Sandra (8/5): Coxy stay - Great breakfas
• Queenana (10/5): Exceptional -
• Queenana (10/5): I enjoyed my stay and it’s in a safe environment , I would recommend it for people who are scared of Johannesburg. - it’s exactly as it is on the pictures friendly staff members , they go beyond N/A
• Queenana (10/5): Exceptional -
• Communications (6/5): Pleasant - Breakfast was good. For 4stars there should be milk, not Cremora in room. Also at least 1 bottle of water. Put of 3 plugs, 1 worked.
• Siphesihle (9/5): Amazing and great - The pool areas, room are specious and nice and breakfast areas is very nice Everything was perfect
• Nogemane (10/5): Exceptional -
• Noko (10/5): Exceptional -
• Beauty (10/5): Exceptional -
• Gabriella (8/5): We had a wonderful time, the host went out of her way to make our stay as comfortable as possible - lovely quiet setting, close to all amenities and Sandton.
• Bubbles (2/5): DO NOT BOOK! - The comfort of the beds and spacious shower. NO hot water and wasn't given attention to even after contacting the owner. On arrival and later returning from a gathering with friends. The owner was nowhere to be found the next morning but eager to ask for help to obtain the remaining funds from me as I assisted them with cash due to their card machine not working. There is a constant beeping in the room, which kept us awake. The TV doesn't work. This was plain theft! Last but not least, hair in our food.
• Andrew (10/5): Very worthwhile accommodation. Extremely helpful owner! - Thank you for a wonderful stay. The owner went above an beyond to make my stay comfortable. I asked for breakfast when I arrive and it was no trouble at all! Very worthwhile stay! Will definitely come back again.
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional - feels just like home, nice staff beautiful hidden gem on Sandton
• Odwa (8/5): Very good -
• Kelly (8/5): We had a very pleasant stay and staff were friendly. Location was perfect and relaxing. Will definitely be back again. -
• Sibongiseni (5/5): average - the lady who was on duty was helpful and pleasant breakfast is underwhelming no effort was made to get me non dairy milk even after I had communicated my allergy to dairy
• Ruth (10/5): the stay was great enjoyed every moment - the peace and quiet Nothing
• Julian (7/5): Good -
• Diego (10/5): Ótima relação custo/benefício - Uma ótima relação custo/benefício, bem confortável, em região bastante tranquila e segura. Atendimento educado e prestatitvo. Como única ressalva, poderia ter ar condicionado.
• jane (8/5): Overnight stay - This was just anovernight stay before heading back home to the UK. The hosts were very nice and they ensured we had everything we needed. Nice breakfast in the morning. I would recommend this accommodation to others.
• A (10/5): Charming bed and breakfast - Charming place to stay right next to the Sand River which was in full flow after the rains. Pearl was a friendly and helpful host. She even came out with an umbrella to escort me to the room. Wifi was perfect and one of the nicest omelettes I’ve had for breakfast in a long time.
• LAN (10/5): - 2 week stay in Thatchfoord Lodge. Cleanliness,service,amenities, location are all outstanding. Also mentioned that the steam view is wonderful as everyone . Even though being rush everyday during my stay, Thatchfoord Lodge supports me like home. Prepare late breakfast and Save my favorite fruits especially. They've known my routine. Printed me urgent documents for free, Safekept my delivery parcels when I was outside. Thatchfoord Lodge will be a nice experience and memory. I will stay here again with my family next time, to slow down and enjoy warm hosts service.
• Johann (10/5): - It was a bit hard to find late at night, but once inside, it was a real treat. The sound of the river quickly put me to sleep in my comfortable bed. The friendliness of the staff was a welcome change from my usual corporate hotel visits and I will surely stay here for my future visits to the Woodmead area.
• Derrick (10/5): Excellent cottage so sweet! - After a 24hr flight from Hawaii, this little GEM of a place in Johannesburg was exquisite! We were warmly greeted by Pearl, and went to our suite w a beautiful deck to have tea n coffee (and yoga in the morning!) The bed was comfortable & it was just adorable with thatched roof & we LOVED it! There's a stream you can walk along that's lovely ..... The breakfast room overlooking pool was cozy & charming! Yummy hot breakfast served to us (and the cappuccino muffins were so good!) Joyce was amazingly knowledgeable and helpful of things to do around the area....!!! The staff were all very friendly! I wish we could have stayed longer as I was so comfortable & relaxed. I HIGHLY recommend this sweet oasis!
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Confirm with Lodge before booking as the number of beds was misrepresented in listing for Garden Room. It only has 2 single beds and a sofa bed, NOT an additional king size bed. Otherwise, it's in a safe and beautiful location in Sandton with a delicious breakfast.
• HIROKI (10/5): 隠れ家的なプール付き中庭が素敵なホテル - 急な予約にも関わらず親切丁寧に対応いただきました。 とにかくプール付きの中庭とそれを見渡せる部屋が最高(多分どの部屋からも見渡せるようになっています)。贅沢かつゆっくりとした時間が流れてる印象です。旅行の都合上1泊しかできなかったのが本当に残念です。 朝食も大変おいしかったです。 急な予約だったので夕食の支度に間に合いませんでしたが、近く(片道10Kmくらいですが…)のモンテカシーノという超素敵な場所を紹介いただきました。ここは絶対行ったほうがいい！ 危険な南アフリカと言われますが、ここは超安全。天井が空模様のベネチアンのような雰囲気のレストラン街とカジノが併設された天国のような場所でした。 フライトの都合上本来立ち寄る予定でなかった都市で素敵な時間を過ごさせていただきました。
• Musawenkosi (6/5): Mediocre loft room - They did not have a aircon but an ineffective oil heater whereas it was a cold that night and at least they provided with a hot water bottle which sadly didn't help much because I woke up with a flu the following morning. The workers were hospitable though which kind of somewhat made up for the discomfort that I felt that night
• OysterWilds (8/5): Like Staying w. An Old Friend, Cozy and Comforting - The owner Pearl and her Manager Judy organized my pick up and arriving at Thatchford was like a breath of fresh air. It was a safe neighborhood, surrounded by beautiful houses in a very wealthy neighborhood. There was a gorgeous river on the other side of the fence and I would take morning walks here, very peaceful and extremely relaxing. It was like staying at an old friends place, personable, comfortable and you just felt at home. This was exactly what I needed after staying at lots of boutique hotels all over Africa. Some place I could just feel like home, decompress and unwind. What made this place extra special is the type of service Pearl and her team give, they will go above and beyond to make your little wishes come true. Prior to leaving I was hungry and thought I would just wait to go to the airport and eat. Pearl got into the kitchen and made me a grilled cheese sandwich, presented it on a tray with flowers and apple juice and knocked on my door! Wulla, All this and no charge, just pure, personal service.....now, you can't get that at any hotel without paying some huge fee.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Peaceful sanctuary with fantastic staff - The thatchfoord lodge is a peaceful little sanctuary which feels 100 miles from busy joburg, while actually being a few minutes drive from everything you need. The mall is just around the corner, the lion park and zoo a short drive and plenty of shops nearby. The lodge backs onto a delightful stream and garden and you really don't feel like you are in Jo burg at all. Pearl and the other ladies are so helpful. Our daughter was sick while we stayed and they really helped out washing stuff for us. We weren't made to feel like a hassle at all. Breakfast is lovely and we paid for one evening meal which was delicious.
• andymcivor (4/5): Too far out of the way! Stay in Zoo lake! - It was not ideal, located well within a safe area, but too far away from everything unless you posess a car to roam around you'll be stuck there. I think they try less than some other guest houses I've stayed in. Really seem to just cover the basics only and not really trying.
• Loma (10/5): Relaxing break - The managers were very kind and friendly. The pool and garden was wonderful. Loved the room and breakfast service. In a secure gated area and it was nice to stroll the roads. Close to one shopping mall and near to another as well. Free wi-fi was great.
• Eric (8/5): Good deal - The room is big enough with a large bed, TV and free Internet access. The landlord (a woman) is a bit distant at the first talk but she's getting sympathetic days after days (perhaps she didn't understand me well at first because of my English...). The "bad" things would be the shower and toilets which did not look very new and were very noisy when being used. There was a swimming pool as well but the weather was not cool enough to use it (and it was a bit dirty - I hope it is cleaned during summer !)
• Nathan (10/5): Great Stay - Excellent communication, great service, overall great stay.
